Fuego del futuro

Fraud cases, arrests of so-called gurus, and the extreme volatility of cryptocurrency investments have taken a toll on the reputation of bitcoin and the crypto world. But neither Ethereum nor other blockchain platforms are a passing fad. Our understanding of these technologies would be very superficial without dwelling on this bad news. As in any time of profound change, the unscrupulous take advantage of many uninformed people, eager to prosper with new advances. We also suffer from legislation that is more concerned with protecting the status quo than with facilitating the adoption of new technologies. Fuego del futuro is a complete guide to understand what is at stake with blockchain, what are its origins and what is the ideology of its main developers. Decentralization and distributed consensus allow the creation and exchange of value, goods and ideas without the control of central authorities. This changes everything. Coupled with powerful advances in energy, artificial intelligence or biotechnology will make exponential progress possible, but we need to understand these transformations if we want to drive them.
